inner end of shaft 64 meshes With a gear 650 on the roller shaft 37.- The sprocket 58 may be mounted on the shaft 25. A belt 67 extending about a roller 68 is adapted to receive dough from the rollers 221and 23 and to carry same therefrom.

The die comprising the rollers 22 and 23, and the frame 380, is supported on the housing by the Z rails 381 carried by the housing. This structure permits the easy removal of the die.

The operation of my device is as follows:

A mass of dough is placed in the hopper and is fed into the way 21 and to the rollers 22 and 23 by means of the upper pair of rollers l0 and 1l. The dou h, passes thru the way 21 and is operate upon by the lower pair of rollers 22 and 23, the last mentioned pair of rollers determining the thickness ofthe sheet. By reference to Fig. 6 it will be readily apparent that dough can leave the way 2l only by Way of the o ening 69 formed between the rollers 22 an 23, wherefore, the sheet of dough which is delivered thru the belt 67 is smooth and even, and the ed es thereof are unfrayed. The flanges on t e ends of roller 22 form smooth edges on the sheet of dough.

What I claim is:

i. In a device o the class described the messie 2. In a device of the class described th combination of a support housing, a hopper on the housing, feed rolls for vreceiving dough from the hopper, means carried by the housin for providing a. Way beneath the feed ro ers, a roller die unit, and Z rails carried by the housing for supporting the roller die unit beneath said way.

3. In a device of the class described the combination of a supporting housing, a hopper on the housing, feed rollers for receivin dough from the ho per, Scrapers ,for said rollers, the feed ro 1ers and Scrapers comprlsmg side walls for a way through which dough may be forced and subjected to pressure, a roller die unit comprsin a anged frame, and means for removaly supporting the frame beneath the way for permltting discharge of. dough from the way through the roller die.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 1st day of December, 1922.
